Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and well-combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for that extra chocolatey goodness.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a lined baking sheet, giving them some space to spread.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the centers are slightly soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Topping
- For the topping, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture over the cooled cookies.
- Drizzle melted chocolate on top to add a delightful finishing touch. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Cookies can also be frozen for up to three months. For best texture, ensure butter is softened, not melted. Creative twists can include adding crushed pretzels or swirls of caramel.
